Development of functionalized biochar composites for enhanced boron adsorption from aqueous solutions by Sanaz Amirshekari, Saeid Shafiei, Mahboobeh Zahedifar, Hossein Shekofteh

“…The prominent adsorption capacity of the synthesized adsorbents was related to the abundant existence of -OH functional groups on the BC adsorbent surface and the abundance of pores widely distributed throughout the surface, facilitating the chemical and physical adsorption of boron. The synthesized adsorbents exhibited a promoted boron adsorption capacity and ease of recovery and reusability.…”

Curing Temperature Effects on the Tensile Properties and Hardness of γ−Fe2O3 Reinforced PDMS Nanocomposites by Yvonne Konku-Asase, Abu Yaya, Kwabena Kan-Dapaah

“…To a large extent, γ-Fe2O3 NPs were uniformly dispersed in the PDMS matrix with no primary chemical bonds formed. For the temperatures tested, the data showed an increase for Young’s modulus (E) of about 170% (1.36–3.71 MPa) and a decrease of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of about 65% (6.48–2.93 MPa) with increasing concentration of the NPs. …”

Changes in Immunoreactivity of Sensory Substances within the Enteric Nervous System of the Porcine Stomach during Experimentally Induced Diabetes by Michał Bulc, Katarzyna Palus, Jarosław Całka, Łukasz Zielonka

“…Therefore, this paper analysed changes in substance P- (SP-), calcitonin gene-related peptide- (CGRP-), and leu5-enkephalin- (L-ENK-) like immunoreactivity (LI) in enteric stomach neurons caused by chemically induced diabetes in a porcine model. Using double immunofluorescent labelling, it was found that acute hyperglycaemia led to significant changes in the chemical coding of stomach enteric neurons. …”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ASSESSMENT METHODS OF TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF WATER SUPPLY AND WATER DISPOSAL by A. A. Kapansky

“…These factors include the technical condition of the equipment and piping systems, alterations in the modes of operation of pumping units over time, a significant impact of the ambient temperature on the power consumption, amount of precipitation and the chemical composition of the effluent. As an object of management water supply and water disposal systems are considered as a totality; therefore the assessment of the energy efficiency of pipeline enterprises ought to be based on a systematic approach, whereas the existing methods are mainly based on an analysis of operating modes of individual electrical equipment, not on the whole technological system. …”

A Method for Determination of Metals in Hybrid Metal Oxide/Metal-Carbon Nanotubes Catalysts by Joanna Bok-Badura, Agata Jakóbik-Kolon, Agata Łamacz, Krzysztof Karoń

“…Due to the fact that production processes are usually unpredictable and the total amount of metal/metal oxide deposited on the CNTs may only be estimated, the methods for examining the chemical composition are necessary. In this study, fast and simple inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with slurry nebulization was proposed for metal content determination in hybrid CeZrO2/CNT, Ni-CeZrO2/CNT, and Ni/CNT materials. …”
